Linux (and Edubuntu) in Schools

[Stefan Nuxoll]

The goal of my site is to point out useful projects such as Edubuntu,  
and provide a community where educators and open source enthusiasts  
in general can share knowledge.  I have a feeling you were getting  
the wrong idea about it.

And I would love to contribute to Edubuntu, but I have no idea where  
to start.
